Thermo-magnetic motor

Thermo-magnetic motor

Thermo-magnetic motors work by heating a ferromagnetic material above its curie point (where it becomes non-magnetic) and then cooling it below that critical temperature. Invented by Nikola Tesla, experiments have thus far only produced extremely inefficient working prototypes.
